Just a minor point, the copyright laws as they pertain to digital media do
differ from one country to another. Not that I am saying it is legal (in
Canada) to distribute copied versions of other's works without their
permission, but for a couple of years now, we Canadians have been paying a
tax on recordable media that is/was supposed to be returned to the original
artist (musical).

Muddies up the water a bit.

Also, and it has been mentioned on this list before, sometimes we have
different ethics when it comes "stealing" from corporations (ie VW) versus
individuals.

Anyhoo, I think all vans should come with a copy of EKTA and a copy of the
Bentley Manual. And Vanagon listserv instructions :)
